Windows 10 questions!

[SloppyMcFloppy]

 I already got my reserve for Windows 10, but i'm currently using windows 8.1 64 bit right now.

 

So i have some couple questions want to ask you guys, before process to Windows 10 setup.

 

1)  If i'm planning to install Windows 10, will it delete all of my games and applications on Windows 8.1?

 

2)  Do i have to install all Windows updates and drivers?!

 

3)  Also, will it take up more spaces to install Windows 10 if i already have windows 8.1 on my SSD? To tell you the truth, i only have 128GB SSD not that much though

 

4)  What happen to my active AV protection during Windows 10 install and setup? Do i have to shut it down to prevent any major conflict during install and setup?

 

5)  How do i revert back to Windows 8.1 if i don't like Windows 10?

 

6)  Does Malwarebytes products support Windows 10? Such as Anti Malware,Anti Rootkit,and Anti Exploit?

 

7)  Does Windows 10 going to delete my Windows 8.1 during the Windows 10 setup?

 

8)  Also, how do i find the Windows 10 keys if Microsoft haven't give it to us or does it active automatically?

 

9)  How good is the new Microsoft browser? Are there any security enhance over the Internet Explorer?

1) Probably no, applications will be saved, but you will need to reinstall, because some applications may work incorrectly.

2) Updates will be installed as soon as they are released automatically, there is no need to worry about it. Drivers will be updated with OS, I think, although some drivers you will need to install/reinstall manually - depends on different cases.

3) Every new version of MS OS requires more space than previous, including archives, backups etc - it will eat a lot of space, 120~150 GB of free space reserved for system needs on your HDD is must have.

4) You need to disable your AV to avoid troubles.

5) Use system restore partition (recovery function) of your PC to restore your original OS.

6) I think there will no problems with Malwarebytes on a new OS.

7) New Windows is replacing older version - you can use install DVD or recovery function of your PC to get your old Windows back.

8) Reserved update is free and will be activated automatically.

9) Let's see. Need to hope it will be better (however as always baggy and insecure).
